Colorado State University and the wider community are invited to celebrate the variety and quality of research and creative scholarship by students, faculty, and staff in CSU’s College of Health and Human Sciences. This year, CHHS Research Day takes place Monday, March 6, at the Lory Student Center Main Ballroom.
CHHS Research Day will open with a poster show in the morning, displaying research posters and creative scholarship produced by faculty, staff, post-doctoral fellows, and students in Health and Human Sciences. There is no requirement to RSVP to attend and view the poster session – and all are invited to attend. After the poster showcase, the afternoon will consist of a keynote address, six-minute lightning talks given by eight faculty members representing each unit of the College, as well as talks from three graduate student Dean’s Fellows. Please RSVP for the speaker presentations. The event concludes with an awards ceremony for the winning poster presenters – no RSVP required.
